IAM in the Cloud - from Verizon and Novell

Interesting newcomer to the Identity in the Cloud space. I look forward to seeing a side-by-side comparison of these solutions. Clearly, when organizations are ready to have their identities managed outside of their own walls (even if just external accounts), there will be a number of options available. I see an opportunity for a few good independent consultants to really understand the intricacies of all these options so they can help customers wade through all the terminology and misconceptions. ...because I don't think it'll be easy.
